#402596 - 01/07/08 11:05 PM Help! Recovering deleted picture
eddie Carcass Registered: 03/08/99 Posts: 2405 Loc: Valencia, Negros Oriental, Phi...	I stupidly deleted a picture from my digital camera and wondered if any of the wizards on here could help. I have a Kodak Z700 and connect it to a computer that runs Windows XP Home Edition. I have found some software that will recover the picture, but it must see the camera as a drive (Hard or removable). I do not have a slot to read the card directly. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Is it an option there? _________________________ You know something bad is going to happen when you hear..."Hey, hold my beer and watch this"

eddie Carcass Registered: 03/08/99 Posts: 2405 Loc: Valencia, Negros Oriental, Phi...	Sky guy - No it is not showing up in My Computer. Somehow I need to have it be seen as a drive in My Computer. If I had a card reader slot, that would work well, but I don't so I need to have the camera itself show up. _________________________ "You're not a gddan looney Martini, you're a fisherman" R.P.

eddie Carcass Registered: 03/08/99 Posts: 2405 Loc: Valencia, Negros Oriental, Phi...	Yes, I connect the camera via a USB cable. Evidently, Kodak uses a protocol that does not allow Windows to see the camera as a drive. When I go to My Computer, I don't see the camera at all. The card with the picture on it is a SD memory card - 512 KB. _________________________ "You're not a gddan looney Martini, you're a fisherman" R.P. McMurphy - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

I realize that this is not what you are looking for but, I have personally had costco recover some pictures that I had deleted off my chip. _________________________ Check out Jimmys new products click here. http://www.madrivermanufacturing.com/swstore1.htm Jigs, injection molded worms made in the USA

eddie Carcass Registered: 03/08/99 Posts: 2405 Loc: Valencia, Negros Oriental, Phi...	Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I have come up empty so far. Kits says they can try for $40 (nonrefundable) and the results are not guaranteed. I don't think it is worth that much. I should just go catch another. $\:\)$ _________________________ "You're not a gddan looney Martini, you're a fisherman" R.P. McMurphy - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

I have edited the original post on the fishing board. Thanks to all who helped. _________________________ "You're not a gddan looney Martini, you're a fisherman" R.P.
